No problem Jim!
The channel is pretty deep along the bank at the outflow, but I like to walk down there and back a few feet and enter. There are some big rocks to contend with and it's a little tricky when the water is still high, but it'll get you closest to the action. I should probably mention that I am a cautious wader, and don't push it too hard. I have entered at the picnic tables, but the muddy flat on your right before the outflow just really irritates me for some reason. Mostly because it's smelly and full of trash. When the tide is lower, you can wade almost everywhere in the inlet. I have never been bothered there, but I stay off the airport's bank and in the "river".
You seem like a cautious guy, but be safe! Being there from low tide to high will really open your eyes to the terrain. I don't think the area is dangerous per se, but it is just weird enough to give me a healthy respect for the space around the outflow. Tides and currents will win over people ten times out of ten. If you don't feel comfortable, don't take the chance! Especially when you're alone.
Looking forward to hearing about some catches!
